I’ll just keep using my local public library.

Most of them lend eBooks these days so I know I won’t get to keep them regardless, but I also don’t have to pay for them.

The SovCit equivalent of “no u.”

No, he highlights the lie that archaeologists are conspiring against him.

Also, there is no value in lying to people about science. None.

Because it is a step down the pseudoscience pipeline that gets you to not trust scientists (Hancock’s whole thing is that elitist archaeologists won’t accept his ideas) and that leads to things like vaccine denial.

It is dangerous.

Are you really not aware that college is far more expensive now that it has ever been? Really? In 2024?

But let’s look at the economics…

Firstly:

You can see that fees are up substantially over where they should be if inflation is taken into account- https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/see-20-years-of-tuition-growth-at-national-universities

Secondly:

Between 1980 and 2023, the average price of college tuition, fees and room and board skyrocketed 155%, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The average tuition for private colleges is now $39,723, U.S. News and World Report found.

Thirdly:

This is actually being studied academically- https://www.forbes.com/sites/prestoncooper2/2020/08/31/a-new-study-investigates-why-college-tuition-is-so-expensive/

Fourthly:

It’s gone up almost 5% in the last five years alone- https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2023/college-tuition-and-fees-up-4-7-percent-since-february-2020.htm

I know I supposedly failed simple economics, but I am able to keep abreast of things like this.

So far, far less than now. Because I only showed tuition, not other expenses.

“Awesome prank, bro… but do you think we could anally probe a few next time?”
“What’s with you and probes, Gary?”

How much was one year of college for you?

Because it’s this much now.

Also, which generation is mine? Just curious.

It has nothing to do with money management. It’s virtually impossible to pay off student loans anymore. People pay them off until they die now. That you’re a boomer is why you were able to do it. College was affordable when you went.

Are you saying they must have some sort of… chisel technology? Could this be possible?

Wait, you paid off your student loan and not your great-grandchildren?

They always read the fine print except when they need to read the fine print.

Oh no. You know who’s account this is?!

Nazgul?

Nope. Nothing.

You clearly don’t watch enough videos of someone ranting for 3 hours on YouTube. Then you’d know all about it.

None.

The worst part is that they’re all really fucking bland questions. The shit you’d see on Facebook.

Yeah, I was on Reddit for 13 years and I don’t remember that ever.
